My last log in was Dec. of 2005. Since then we have moved (again), and I have gained weight. I think I am at about 210, I guess I will have to get on the scale tomorrow and see what the Beast has to say. In the past year I have been diagnosed with PCOS and had surgery for infertility issues. Long story short - I basically tied my own tubes. As much as it hurts to know that I won't be having the babies I wanted, it is good to not put off my life because "I might be pregnant" - which was a big excuse for me in the past. So, I am back and ready to start fresh. We just moved to a new state and and I am ready to start a new workout routine. I used to be a runner and would love to get back to that!

Hey AutumnJoy, and

Have you visited our "Dieting with Obstacles" area yet? There is a PCOS section that might be useful for you to look at...PCOS poses unique challenges to those of us trying to lose weight.

I know a lot of people have had success with the Couch to 5K running program to get themselves back on track - maybe you can google it!

Can't wait to see you around...stick here this time!
